A sadness has come over me. There are reasons for the melancholy that has settled in, but I will not go into them. When I get into a mood such as this, I need to hear sad songs. I suppose many people would listen to happy music in an attempt to pull themselves out. However, sad music helps me focus on what is going through my mind and alleviate some of the feelings that have developed.
With that in mind, I think it is a good time to look into the iPod and play some songs that I consider sad. Of course, that definition is in the ear of the beholder. One person’s sad song could be someone else’s happy song. Nevertheless, here we go.
“Kentucky Rain” by Elvis Presley
“You’ll Never Leave Harlan Alive” by Dave Alvin
“It Was A Very Good Year” by Frank Sinatra
“Love On The Rocks” by Neil Diamond
“The Pretender” by Jackson Browne
“Moment Of Surrender” by U2
“Pieces Of April” by Three Dog Night
“Just A Song Before I Go” by Crosby, Stills and Nash
“Scarborough Fair” by Simon and Garfunkel

“November Rain” by Guns ‘N Roses

Dang, I want to continue listening to sad songs. However, I will stop typing right here.
